   I made a 2:00 reservation because it was among the time slots offered and because my friend and I were curious about the happy hour menu. We assumed a wider menu option would also be offered. Upon arrival we were told that the kitchen closes at 2:00. It felt odd to arrive at a restaurant and be told the kitchen would be closed! We were invited to order exclusively off the very limited happy hour menu. The food was great but the kitchen closure and restricted menu could have been made more clear when the reservation was made.

   This was our first time at Woven Chophouse. We made reservations for 6:30. When we arrived, we were placed at a table which was very close to the couple next to us. We were a party of 2 and ordered 2 glasses of wine, oysters, and steaks each. We did not get our food until around 7:30- so 1 hour after being seated. The waiter was very kind and told us it was taking longer than normal. Once we got our food, it was absolutely delicious. The steaks were cooked wonderfully with a lot of flavor. The oysters were also fresh and tasty. Our water did not get refilled at all during our visit, so that was disappointing, and it was really hard to hear my husband with the music and table next to us being so close by. We went at night time, so I would imagine in the day the view is incredible with the restaurant being on the water. It was a Saturday night and very busy, and we enjoyed our experience besides some minor things. The food is delicious and our waiter was very kind. I definitely want to try the sushi rolls next time, they looked so good going out to the other tables. Definitely get a reservation! It was completely booked.

   Over all, a pretty good experience. The food was very good; the misoyaki cod was absolutely fantastic, perfectly cooked, with beautifully balanced flavors. We each had an old fashioned and found it rather underwhelming, especially for the price. The space is very pretty, but on a Friday night it was LOUD - we could barely hear each other or our sever - and I found it off-putting how bright it was inside. Sort of made it feel like an airport instead of a restaurant. We still enjoyed ourselves overall, though.

   Do not recommend. This was our second visit. First visit was better than second, but still lacking. The risotto tasted like Mac and cheese, the mashed potatoes were very bland, watery. The halibut and salmon were good. The service was unacceptably slow (we were there over 3 hours for dinner). They offered a complimentary dessert due to the slow service but 2 items would take a half hour, one item they were out of and the item that we ordered to go took a half hour when we were told it would be right out. We got up from our table to go pay since we didn't see our server for a very long time. The women's restroom was out of TP and seat covers. I brought that to the attention of the hostess and an hour later it had not been taken care of. The ambiance feels somewhat like a cafeteria. It was very expensive and I'm disappointed by the whole experience. I won't be going back.

   We ate at the bar and had an excellent experience. Great service, great cocktails, and delicious food in generous portions. We'll definitely be back.

   We did not have a good experience. Hamachi collar tasted fishy (bad) and there’s no seasoning to it. Also no presentation or plating on this dish, not even a wedge of lemon. We could only eat 2/3 of the halibut as the other 1/3 was overcooked (tasted leathery due to it being deep fried at the top). The potatoes on this dish felt like they were microwaved first, then flashed fried or put in the pan with oil and herb seasoning. We know because we do the same at home when we’re in a hurry. Server forgot our silverware and we waited sometime after our main dishes were on the table.

   Woven is just a local Japanese fusion restaurant and would have liked to have seen more Puyallup inspired dishes and tastes. The service was good and made the experience, especially our server.

   We felt the lights were a bit too bright. It definitly threw off the ambiance a little. Our waiter was very pleasant but unfortunately forgetful and the service was a bit slow.

    First time for my wife and I at Woven for dinner tonight. We have been to Roy’s in Waikiki many times over the years and never had a bad meal so we were excited to try Woven. I saw many bad reviews about the service, but we had excellent service from the time we walked in until we left. Theambience was not great, although somewhat made up for by the big windows. The lights are up so bright that we felt like we were sitting in a cafeteria. The complementary edamame, and pork ribs were excellent. Brussel sprouts were way too sweet and way too soft. The black cod had a beautiful presentation, was cooked perfectly, and had great sides, but was completely ruined by a sauce that was overly sweet.  The paella was most definitely not paella.Should be listed on the menu as risotto with seafood on top. Not sure we would ever come back here again, but if we did, might stick with items from the grill.
